3 - I wanted to know more about Tom's friend Paul, whose screen time did nothing to flesh him out.

4 - Haha, Autumn. Get it? It's, like, ironic and stuff! Haha! No.

5 - Sometimes I like nonlinear storytelling. Sometimes I don't. This time I really didn't.

And then, because all of these things really did bug me about the movie, but because all of them combined don't really make me feel as though I've adequately described why I did not like the movie, I decided that maybe I don't have to describe it.

I decided I don't have to justify why I don't like a movie. Or a book. Or shrimp. Or anything else for that matter. Not liking something can be enough.
